Tomorrow, I will be Net Control for the Southern Nevada MARA net, which is a ham radio group. I’m excited. I’ve only had my ham radio ticket just under 6-months, and I will be running the net tomorrow.
If any one is interested, the net meets on Saturdays at 8:30 am and Mondays at 9:00 pm on VHF 147.27+ and is also linked on UHF 447.30- (PL 100).

I testify that wickedness is rapidly expanding in every segment of our society. It is more highly organized, more cleverly disguised, and more powerfully promoted than ever before. Secret combinations lusting for power, gain, and glory are flourishing. A secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries is increasing its evil influence and control over America and the entire world.

We were on our way home from Grandma’s house when Mikey, my almost 4-year old, started asking some pretty good philosophical questions. My two favorite are:
Daddy, when will Jesus come out of Heaven?
Daddy, if I do something bad, will I not be able to live in heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus?
I’m glad that I know the answers to these and, therefore, was able to help him better understand.

Dear Friends & Family;
Well 2009 has been a fun year. Sometimes we wonder if life will ever slow down! We got our Ham radio licenses this year and Michael, at least, is enjoying talking to people on the air.
Mikey is finally potty trained and is learning to put letters together to make words. He loves Geotrax trains, Thomas the Tank Engine, the movie Cars, and any cartoon on TV. Mikey will be turning 4 in January and is excited to be a Sunbeam at Church.
Josh is slowly starting to talk and loves to do whatever his big brother is doing. He is becoming Mr. Independent and doesn’t want anyone’s help in doing things. He will be turning 2 in March.
Michael has finally earned an Associate’s degree and is still working hard at fixing computers. In February, he started working as the Director of Information Technologies for an INC 500 company here in Las Vegas. He still manages his computer repair business, Las Vegas Geeks, as well so he stays busy.
Amanda was released from the Relief Society Presidency this past year and has been in Nursery ever since. A few months later, Mike was called to teach in Nursery as well so it’s a great team. She is a wonderful Mother and Wife. She loves couponing and we are all impressed by her savings.
Love,
Michael, Amanda, Mikey, and Josh Cox

It Is Going To Be A Rocky Road
by Chuck Baldwin
September 22, 2009
Let’s face it: most Americans live in a world of false security. This is somewhat understandable, given the fact that the majority of the U.S. population was born after 1945. Few remember the dangers and hardships of World War II; fewer still remember the Great Depression. Few Americans know what it’s like to not have some sort of “supercenter” nearby with shelves stocked with every kind of food imaginable, twenty-four hours a day. Few know what life was like before there were restaurants of all sizes and types on virtually every street corner in America. And only a handful remembers when most roads were unpaved, or when sports were truly a pastime and not a megabuck obsession.

Liberty-loving American people will sacrifice their freedom and their democratic principles if their security and their very lives are threatened.

No true Latter-day Saint and no true American can be a socialist or a communist or support programs leading in that direction. These evil philosophies are incompatible with Mormonism, the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

10 Ways our Republic and Constitution are being destroyed while
enemies of freedom are being aided:
1. By diplomatic recognition and aid, and trade and negotiations with the communists.
2. By disarmament of our military defenses.
3. By destruction of our security laws and the promotion of atheism by decisions of the Supreme Court.
4. By loss of sovereignty and solvency through international commitments and membership in international organizations.
5. By undermining of local law enforcement agencies and Congressional investigating committees.
6. By usurpations by the executive and judicial branches of our federal government.
7. By lawlessness in the name of civil rights.
8. By a staggering national debt with inflation and a corruption of the currency.
9. By a multiplicity of executive orders and federal programs which greatly weaken local and state governments.
10. By the sacrifice of American manhood by engaging in wars we apparently have no intention of winning.”

“If you deprive a man of his right to fail in the righteous use of his property, you also deprive him of his right to succeed. If you remove from a man his right to ‘go to hell,’ you likewise remove his free agency to go to heaven. Satan’s entire philosphy is based on a ’something for nothing’ philosophy: salvation without effort – a free gift. This counterfeit doctrine was rejected by God our Father.”
